| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
First, this project scrutinized the predictability of the TOEIC scores from the G-TELP scores, in order to examine the effects of proficiency-based classes. The Generalized Linear Model fit best and yet approximately 60% of variances were accounted for. Relatively high or low scores (TOEIC scores above 600 or below 400) tended to have an ill fit between the observed and the predicted scores. It is suggested that individual differences models should be used for further analyses.
Second, to effectively form proficiency-based classes, it is suggested that (1) an effective and appropriate placement measurements, (2) more proficient-based classes for similar proficiency within a class, and (3) maintaining small class sizes and taking into account students' motivations should be required.
